Wed, 25 Sep 2013 23:25:31 +0000http://hotair.com/?p=280331#comment-7348418All this hand-wringing over a potential shutdown.
Personally, I think many from both sides of the aisle are scared sh#tless that once people realize a shutdown is NOT Armageddon, they are toast.

The takeaway here isn’t that there’s some sort of rift between Cruz and Paul;

No, the takeaway os that Paul is just his father’s son in the end. Just better at hiding his true self.

The takeaway is that Paul endorsed McConnell, is for legalizing criminals, has given up on Cruz’s effort even before Cruz started, and is resigned to HusseinCare without exhausting all options. He’s just much better spoken than his father is and better at playing the RINO game.

Remember, if McConnell is still in Senate next year Paul is one of the reasons.

Wed, 25 Sep 2013 23:07:51 +0000http://hotair.com/?p=280331#comment-7348384I’d just like to point out that if the House GOP had done their jobs, we wouldn’t be in this position now.

They’re supposed to pass, what, 13 or so separate funding bills? Only one of those likely would have had anything to do with ObamaCare. Maybe two.

If they’d passed the other 11 or 12, no one would be talking about a government shutdown right now, and instead we’d be talking about whether Cruz could actually win enough public support to defund this thing.

Wed, 25 Sep 2013 23:04:27 +0000http://hotair.com/?p=280331#comment-7348380This is a specific fight that is only going to last a few days. No real harm to the conservative cause will come of it no matter how hard the media and Republican establishment will try to make it so. This fight is about the number one issue the American people agree with conservatives on. This fight is also occurring more then a year before the next national election anyway. What is this taking away from? What huge agenda for Boehner are we screwing up by doing this? Immigration reform? HA!

This is about pushing the overton window so to speak. From delay to defund. From doing nothing to delaying the mandates. From doing nothing to possibly putting a bill forward taking away all exemptions. From passiveness to fighting. Without the conservatives fighting on this issue at this time and doing that vote in the house and doing this non-filibuster, the house and senate would have done nothing except a simple symbolic vote for a delay in the house where the votes would have been predictable. So why not push the issue forward in a much tougher way. And put some pressure on the RINO’s. And push some true conservative voices forward and give them a platform to potentially lead us to actually ending Obamacare. Oh, the horror of those things.

Instead, the establishment want to use the Obamacare issue to gain more power for the Republican establishment by fighting the “soft fight” so that they can win the next election so they can ……..DO NOTHING…. like they always do. Would Boehner and the Republican lead senate and President Christie repeal Obamacare in 2017 after it has been implemented for 4 years? Look at McCain’s speech to see how likely that is.

They just want this as an issue so they can gain more power for their own purposes. Instead, Cruz and the conservatives are putting pressure on the Boozman’s of the world and pushing the harder line Obamacare issues forward. Good. If it hurts the “Republican brand” for a few weeks, who cares.

The RINO establishment types act like this is the end of the world what is happening. Maybe for them and their power, it might just be the beggining of the end.

If House conservatives agree to some lesser deal on O-Care — say, Vitter’s plan to force Congress and staff to buy insurance on the exchanges without federal subsidies

The money to be repaid quietly somewhere else, deeply buried in a spending bill.

The GOP is worthless.

Wed, 25 Sep 2013 22:57:35 +0000http://hotair.com/?p=280331#comment-7348364I see those pics of creeps like Boehner and Cadaver and just can’t help but believe that their public squabbling is all just a show, that the results are already set but they’re justifying their jobs by looking “busy”.

Wed, 25 Sep 2013 22:54:20 +0000http://hotair.com/?p=280331#comment-7348356“would Cruz and Lee accept that or will they continue to (futilely) oppose anything short of defunding?”

What grammatical or journalistic value did the word “futiley” add to that question? Look, if Hotair wants to keep pushing the meme that all resistance is futile, just come out and admit to being left side facilitators.

Wed, 25 Sep 2013 22:50:08 +0000http://hotair.com/?p=280331#comment-7348347Guys I’m climbing back on the burn it down strategy. It appears the GOP senate is lost to us. Even if we pick up 10 seats there’s just too many die-hard liberals that are entrenched.

Cruz, throw everything you got at ‘em. Maybe the reality that the entire G-7 is bankrupt will hit if there is enough chaos.
